Users / Controlling electronics

« on: September 19, 2009, 03:18:36 am »

Hello, im looking to setup a single hybrid linuxmce system for the time being with the possibility of added media directory's later down the road.  Im only looking to do simple media as in movies and controlling some electronics to start with. I don't understand what I need exactly to control electronics.  From what i understand there are three different ways of doing this that's with INSTEON, Zwave or x10.  Not really knowing what the differneces are and from what i read on the forums and the wiki site x10 seams to be the cheapest.  Lot of the interfaces I looked at from links from the forum and wiki are discontinued but i found this http://www.smarthome.com/1132B/PowerLinc-Serial-TW523-X10-Interface-with-12VDC-Output/p.aspx
would this work with linuxmce or maybe suggest something better?

After installing the interface in the linuxmce computer I would be able to control all the x10 equipment in my house from linuxmce?

Will these sockets work? http://cgi.ebay.com/X-10-SR227-FREE-SHIPPING_W0QQitemZ160320516476QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item2553d8f17c&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1262

Users / HD Capture cards

« on: April 06, 2009, 09:07:01 am »

I'm thinking about setting up a linuxMCE system for my newly 50" plasma.   I just found out about lmce a few days ago.  I was reading a lot of the forums and didn't really see any HD capture cards in existence or worked with lmce.  Also most of the forums talking about this are a year or so old.  I don't really need it for DVR as I have a HD DVR from bright house.  I was planing on using an infrared transmitter to control the cable box and other stuff in my room.  I just want to be able to use the other features of lmce wile still watching tv and also having everything on one remote.   My original plan was to just hook my tv up to my fedora pc for movies.  I wouldn't mind putting another pc together if I can get some good use out of lmce.  If there is nothing for HD what are you guys doing for hd tvs?  I'm out of Florida and my cable provider is bright house not that that really matters.... I think?
